What you can expect

Enjoy an unforgettable falconry experience just a short distance from Pavia, accompanied by a professional falconer who will introduce you to different species of birds of prey, explaining their characteristics, behaviours, and training techniques.

During the activity, you'll have the opportunity to communicate with the birds of prey and call one to your fist, while for the larger species you can watch spectacular flight demonstrations.

The experience lasts about two hours, with a welcome 15 minutes before the scheduled time and a breakfast of coffee and brioche or iced tea for the kids. At the end, you can visit the Oasis of Sant'Alessio on your own, a natural park dedicated to the protection and knowledge of these extraordinary animals.

The activity is recommended for ages 6 and up, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. People with disabilities are welcome, as the place is also wheelchair accessible.

We recommend wearing clothes in natural tones, such as brown, dark green, grey, or black, to encourage a better approach with the birds of prey, and avoiding hats or scarves with fur or pompoms in winter that could attract the birds.

A unique opportunity to experience the thrill of being a falconer for a day and discover the fascinating world of birds of prey up close.

Upon arrival, you'll need to pay €5 for the park entrance ticket and insurance coverage (payable in cash or electronically). Any accompanying persons will have to pay €18, which includes the entrance ticket and insurance.
